Ingot Casting Process and Ingot Moulds

An ingot is a steel block cast into a shape suitable for further processing, with cross-sections that may be square, rectangular, polygonal, round, or oval, depending on the required profile. Forging ingots are created by freezing molten metal in cast iron molds. These molds play a crucial role in production, and Kesari Alloys carefully selects them based on design suitability.

Ingot molds are designed to:
  • Ensure complete solidification and form a suitable grain structure, as the freezing process determines the material’s physical properties.
  • Facilitate handling and downstream processing.
  • Minimize liquid metal wastage, reducing manufacturing costs.

Fluted mold designs increase heat transfer due to their larger contact area. Depending on heat requirements, molds can be solid or water-cooled shells. Tapered molds help prevent cracks caused by uneven cooling, as volume changes during solidification can lead to defects. Such defects may render Forging ingots unusable, requiring re-melting, recycling, or disposal.

In the early steel industry, Forging ingots were cast by top pouring into tapered molds. Rectangular molds were used for rolled plates, square or round molds for bars and strips, and round or octagonal molds for forgings. For large forgings, fluted molds were preferred to minimize surface cracking risks.

Steel Ingot Manufacturers in India: Alloy, Carbon and Stainless Steel Ingots

Kesari Alloys is one of the steel ingot manufacturers in India, and among alloy steel ingot manufacturers in India and stainless steel ingots manufacturers in India it makes alloy steel ingots, carbon steel ingots and stainless steel ingots under one roof in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan. As an alloy steel ingot manufacturer and alloy steel ingots supplier, we cast industrial steel ingots for forging shops, ring rolling plants and rolling mills. Our forging quality steel ingots are melted in an electric furnace, refined in a ladle refining furnace, vacuum degassed and bottom poured, so forging ingots manufacturers and forge shops receive clean, traceable steel.

The range covers mild steel ingots and high carbon steel ingots in carbon steel, the full alloy steel grade list on our steel grade family page, and stainless steel ingots such as SS410 and SS430. We also supply steel billets and ingots together, with continuous cast billets and blooms from the same plant. Every ingot is marked with grade, size and heat number, so every heat can be traced.

Forging Ingot Price and How to Get a Quotation

Steel ingot price is not one fixed number. The ingot price depends on the grade (a carbon steel ingot price is different from an alloy steel or stainless steel ingot price), the ingot size, the hot top type, the heat treatment condition, ground or as-cast surface, and the quantity ordered. For that reason we quote against your requirement instead of publishing a price list, and the steel ingot price in India moves with raw material costs from month to month. The same applies to forging ingots price per ton.

To buy forging ingots, send us the grade, the ingot size you use (for example M3 or M6), the quantity per month and the delivery location. We reply with a forging ingot quotation covering ingots price per ton and delivery time; tell us if you need a specific test certificate. Where to buy ingots in bulk? Call or mail our Bhiwadi team: we handle forging ingots bulk supply for regular forging customers as well as single-heat orders. Use the contact page for a quotation.

Forging Ingot Weights: 1.5 Ton, 3 Ton, 6 Ton, 10 Ton and 22 Ton Ingots

The weight chart above shows every steel ingot size we cast, and the steel ingot weight for each. In short: an M1.5 ingot weighs 1,450 to 1,700 kg (a 1.5 ton ingot), an M3 ingot 2,850 to 3,500 kg (a 3 ton ingot) and an M6 ingot 6,400 to 7,100 kg (a 6 ton ingot). The M9 ingot gives a 10 ton forging ingot of 9,700 to 10,300 kg, and the M22 ingot is our 22 ton forging ingot at 21,000 to 23,500 kg including hot top. These large forging ingots and heavy forging ingots are used for shafts, rolls, rings and press-forged parts.

  • M2 ingot: 2,100 to 2,650 kg. M4 ingot: 3,800 to 4,100 kg. M5 ingot: 4,800 to 5,500 kg.
  • M7 ingot: 8,000 to 8,500 kg. M13 ingot: 13,800 kg. M17 ingot: 16,400 to 18,200 kg.
  • Round forging ingots: 410x410 round ingot (M2, 2,300 kg), 510 mm round ingot (M3, 3,500 kg) and 690 mm round ingot (M6, 6,700 kg).

Square forging ingots and fluted forging ingots serve different jobs. Fluted ingots have a ribbed surface that gives a larger cooling contact area and lowers the risk of surface cracking, which is why fluted forging ingots are preferred for large forgings; fluted vs square ingot is mainly a question of size and forging reduction. Every ingot carries a hot top, either over imposed or semi inserted, to feed the casting as it solidifies. The ingot size chart lists the hot top ingot dimensions for each size, so you can compare the over imposed hot top ingot against the semi inserted hot top ingot before ordering.

Steel Ingot Manufacturing Process and Uses of Steel Ingots

The steel ingots manufacturing process at Kesari Alloys follows five steps. Scrap and alloys are melted in the 20 MT electric melting furnace; the heat is tapped into a ladle and refined in the ladle refining furnace (LRF); the ladle then goes to vacuum degassing, where dissolved gases are removed and hydrogen is brought below 2 ppm; the steel is bottom poured into cast iron moulds in the ingot casting pit; and the ingots cool in a cooling pit before dressing, inspection and dispatch. This ingot casting process is closed, so liquid steel is not exposed to the atmosphere. The result is bottom poured ingots with low hydrogen in forging ingots (below 2 ppm), cast in moulds that are matched to the steel ingot size, including a stainless steel ingot mold for stainless grades.

Steel ingots uses: open die forging, ring rolling, upsetting and rolling into bars and sections. The ingot chemical composition is set by the grade you order and is reported on the test certificate; typical ranges for each grade are on the grade pages. Our manufacturing infrastructure and testing technology pages show the equipment behind these ingots.

Forging Ingot FAQs

What is a forging ingot?

A forging ingot is a cast steel block made for open die forging, ring rolling, upsetting or rolling. Forging quality ingots are melted, refined, vacuum degassed and bottom poured so they have low gas content and a sound internal structure.

What sizes of forging ingots does Kesari Alloys make?

Ingots from 1,450 kg (M1.5) up to 23,500 kg (M22) in square, fluted and round shapes. The forging ingot weight chart on this page lists every size, hot top type and pieces per heat.

What is a hot top ingot?

A hot top ingot has an insulated feeder head on top that keeps the metal liquid longer so shrinkage collects in the hot top and not in the ingot body. We use over imposed and semi inserted hot tops.

Are your forging ingots IBR approved?

Yes. Kesari Alloys is an IBR approved manufacturer and is also certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. See the certifications page.

Which grades are available as ingots?

All carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel grades in our steel grade family, including EN8, EN9, EN19, EN24, EN31, 4140, 4340, 42CrMo4 and 8620, as well as custom grades.
